Macular Degeneration

Rate this question


ADAMS

Question

So I recently was denied for Macular degeneration of the left eye, I was diagnosed with this condition within one year of discharge . I attended a C&P exam February of 2019, the examiner had noted the date of onset was 2010, and in another box she had date of diagnosis of 2012, this date would have put me over the 1 year period of discharge, seems like to me 2012 is a mistake and should have been 2011 according to my doctors letter. Any Thoughts????? I have attached the C&P and Doctors letters. Thanks

I think you need an IMO from a eye doc specialist that can offer technical rational that the degeneration/eye issue "more likely than not" initiated PRIOR to discharge. Something like " the degree of damage takes x amount of time "consistent with your own doc's observation dated 1 year after discharge. That would take a technical eval backed up by medical articles or journals.IMO
